Safety Instructions

Please read and understand all safety instructions before operating the module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, or damage to the product.

• Power Supply: Ensure the power supply voltage matches the module's rating (5V or 12V DC). Connecting an incorrect voltage can damage the module.
• Polarity: Observe correct polarity when connecting the DC power supply (+ and - terminals).
• Current Rating: Do not exceed the relay's maximum current rating (10A for 250VAC/125VAC and 10A for 30VDC/28VDC). Overloading can cause overheating and failure.
• Isolation: Ensure proper electrical isolation between the control circuit and the load circuit.
• Environment: Operate the module in a dry environment, away from moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures.
• Professional Installation: If you are unsure about wiring or electrical connections, seek assistance from a qualified electrician or electronics professional.
• Disconnection: Always disconnect power before making any wiring changes or performing maintenance.

Setup

Follow these steps to set up your ADMIO Bistable Relay Module:

1. Identify Module Type: Confirm whether you have the 5V or 12V version of the module. This is typically indicated on the relay itself (e.g., JQC3F-05VDC-C for 5V, JQC3F-12VDC-C for 12V).
2. Power Connection: Connect the appropriate DC power supply to the DC+ and DC- terminals on the module. Ensure correct polarity.

3. Load Connection: Connect your load (e.g., motor, light, solenoid) to the relay output terminals:
   • NO (Normally Open): Connect one side of your load to this terminal and the other side to your power source (or ground, depending on your circuit design). The circuit will be open (off) when the relay is de-energized and closed (on) when energized.
   • COM (Common): Connect the common line of your load circuit to this terminal.
   • NC (Normally Closed): Connect one side of your load to this terminal and the other side to your power source (or ground). The circuit will be closed (on) when the relay is de-energized and open (off) when energized.

Operating Instructions

The ADMIO Bistable Relay Module operates with a single button for control:

1. Power On: Once the module is correctly wired and power is supplied, the PWR-LED will light up. The relay will be in its initial state (either NO or NC connected to COM, depending on the module's default power-up state or previous state if power was maintained).
2. Toggle State: Press the onboard button once. The relay will switch its state (e.g., if NO was connected, it will now disconnect, and if NC was connected, it will now disconnect, or vice-versa depending on the specific relay configuration and internal logic). The module is bistable, meaning it will maintain this new state even after the button is released.
3. Toggle Back: Press the button again. The relay will switch back to its previous state.

This single-button operation makes it ideal for applications requiring a simple on/off toggle or state change with memory.

Maintenance

The ADMIO Bistable Relay Module requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:

• Cleaning: Keep the module clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Environment: Ensure the operating environment remains within specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid exposure to corrosive gases or liquids.
• Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
• Inspection: Visually inspect the module for any signs of physical damage, such as cracked components or burnt areas.
